What kind of talk is that?
That's ??? I'm talking about
When they weren't in the room
When you would pick up
My goodness
What kind of ??? did I deserve
Well I got what I deserved, I had nothing
Cause I tried to pick up girls
It worked out foul
Pablo Picasso
Some guys try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened though to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
The girls could not resist his stare
And so Pablo Picasso was never called asshole
Well the girls would turn the color of avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
And so, Pablo Picasso never got called asshole
???
Well
Some guys try to pick up girls
It worked out foul
They weren't suave
They came off miserable
He could walk down your street
The girls could
And he was only five foot three
The girls could not resist his stare
[He didn't care if he was only five foot three
He didn't care if the girls didn't care
No one cared, what difference did it make?]
Some guys try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened though to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
The girls could not resist his stare
And so Pablo Picasso was never called asshole
Some guys try to pick up girls
Pablo Picasso had self confidence
Nothing bad happened when he did it
Some guys try to pick up girls and get caught asshole
This never happened to the young Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare
So Pablo Picasso never got called asshole
Until the girls got to know him about twenty minutes
Now the girls would turn the color of the avocado
When he would drive down their street in his Eldorado
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist and stare and so
Pablo Picasso never got called asshole
Some guys worry how they look well
They should know that not some handsome lover boy was Pablo Picasso
But he could walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare
cause He had the self confidence and everything, you know, the paintings and stuff
Some guys try to pick up girls or just try to meet'em
But then they get all nervous and they let that fear defeat'em
There's Picasso and he was only five foot three
Yeah, and they're standing way over there
Some guys worry about, yeah
Some guys worry and despair about what nature gave'em
If that's how they'll play then there's no way to save'em
But there's Picasso and he was only five foot three
Pablo Picasso never got called anything worth mentioning
Some guys try to pick up girls, some girls try to pick up girls
Some girls try to pick up guys, every combination you can imagine
But there's Picasso in the Cafe de Mago, Cafe de mitazo
Gets his oil changed at Prompto
Stands there all nonchalanto
Some guys try to pick up girls
And it's just numbing to'em
So if they get turned down
Didn't they just get what was coming to'em
There's Picasso all standing by the way
Pablo Picasso didn't need to use his lasso
Some guys try to pick up girls and just themselves they think of
So if they then talk of love, more than cologne they stink of
This Picasso, he's stunk too
Pablo Picasso, you shoulda heard the things they said
I read the memoirs
Some guys try to pick up girls and get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist his silence, oh
No, no
Nooo!
Well, some guys try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to the young Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
[For the first twenty minutes
I read the memoirs, you should see what the women had to say after three weeks]
now the girls would turn the color (give me a beat)
Of the avocado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
so Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
not for the first three weeks
Some guys trying to pick up girls,
doesn't that phrase sound predatory?
Doesn't it sound passé?
Doesn't it sound so 1940?
There's Picasso at the Café du Mago, staring up at you from his demi-tasse ball
Some guys worry how they look well, they should know that how some handsome double boy was
Pablo Picasso
he was only five foot three, girls could not resist him anyway
While the girls would turn the color of
The avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
he would Walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare
and saw
Pablo Picasso didn't need to use his lasso
[Some of these rhymes were a little rough you know that
some of these rhymes were a little rough you know that
Sometimes it ain't so easy thinking of these jokes you know that]
Some guys try to pick up girls, or just try to meet them
But then they get nervous and they let fear defeat them
There's Picasso all standing over there
Pablo Picasso all nonchalant-o
Some guys worry and despair about what nature gave'em
If that's how they're gonna play, there's no real way to save'em
He was only five foot three but he was just about to do his thing
Pablo Picasso, oh, you're the one
Pablo Picasso goes commando
Some guys try to pick up girls
Some girls try to pick up girls
Some girls try to pick up guys
Everything you can imagine
There's Picasso there at the Café Du Margaux
The reading is antipasto
Some girls worry how they look well
They should know that not some handsome lover boy was Pablo Picasso
He was only five foot three, stopping just this side of slander
Pablo Picasso using innuendo
That rhyme might have been of a stretch, you know that?
You don't have to approve of all these rhymes, Mr. Tommy, I mean, talk to Tommy about'em, if you don't like stuff.
Some guys try to pick up girls
And just themselves they think of
So if they talk of love
More than cologne they stink of
There's Picasso standing over there
You wouldn't recognize him
Incognito
Some guys try to pick up girls
And get caught asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could only fight for peace
Girls could not resist the stare and so
